Riptide is BCN's middle school ministry - geared just for 6th through 8th graders! We're committed to being set apart for God to mold us and use us to impact His world. As we grow in our faith and grow closer to each other, we'll ultimately grow closer to God.

Check out some of our upcoming activites!

Thanks.

Our teens raised over $6,000 to fight hunger and save the lives of starving families in Malawi, Africa during the 30 Hour Famine on April 25-26. Thanks for your support!
